Learning patience



They say that “patience is a virtue”.

The word virtue means any admirable quality or merit that is of excellence.

The word patience means the quality of enduring without complaint; the exercise of sustained perseverance; forbearance toward the faults or infirmities of others.

The word patient (in this sense) means possessing quiet, uncomplaining endurance under distress; tolerant and forbearing; capable of tranquilly awaiting events; persevering.

So.....with all these definitions of “patience is a virtue”......where do we individually stand? How easily is patience learned?

To really and completely and fully learn patience and all that it entails......IS truly a virtue.

What is a home?



A home can be many things to many people.

A home can be a place where our precious family abides. A home can be a place of refuge, safety and protection from the world and the elements. A home can be a large debt that weighs us down. A home can be a place filled with love, peace, happiness, and God. A home can be a place where we store all the accumulated “stuff”, or items, we have collected all our life. A home can be a fancy showplace with expensive furnishings and such. A home can be a place of learning and growth. A home can be a haven for a friend in need. A home can be a “heaven on earth” for all who dwell therein.
